2 tablespoons cocoa
2 ounces red food coloring (or 1 oz. mixed with 1 oz. water)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
3 tablespoons flour

1 cup sugar
1/2 lb butter (no subs)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Stir into creamed mixture.
Sift four and salt together.
Then with electric mixer at medium speed, add alternately with buttermilk to mixture.
Blend well; add vanilla.
Combine vinegar and soda and while still foaming, add to batter.

Bake in 2 greased and floured layer cake pans at 350° for 30-35 minutes.
Icing: Cook flour and milk over medium heat until thick, stirring constantly.
Cool.
